What is server-free backup, and how does it work?
this is accomplished, and they generally have an alternate copy of the data, such as a business continuous volume (BCV) or a split-mirror, or perhaps a snapshot, and then present that data to some other system or device that can copy the data to tape. The typical way that this is done is via a dedicated backup... More...
Is there a similar performance impact, or any impact at all, when restoring deduplicated data?
It really depends on how the index is constructed and how the data is laid out on the back-end disk. As long as the index can remain in memory, it can continue to process and find data as it's reconstructed.

The problem that begins to emerge is two-fold. First off, if you have backups going on at the same... More...
